Ratings and reviews

I do love the app but I couldn't access my tickets due to the app needing to be updated. I understood but I had been checking the app all day and it hadn't said anything. This made it difficult and stressful when I was heading for the ticket barriers.

I don't know why this happens now but it will only show the outward bound ticket when downloading both outward and return tickets to Google Wallet. You only get the option to redownlioad the return ticket nearer the time your return train is due to depart, which is frustrating if you have an Anytime Day Return ticket and decide to to get an earlier train. Please sort this out. Thanks.

Ridiculous app!! trying to book a chester to euston train with a travelcard and two persons is impossible. I press two adults and confirm and the travelcard vanishes. So I try to add a railcard first and it defaults to one adult. So you go round in circles and end up using trainpal in my case
